My idea is to use the Zotac ZBOX ID83 como HTPC, for watching movies on TV and play on systems that I can not play the original hardware, including the Atari 2600, Nintendo, the Super Nintendo games that use chips not supported by SD2SNES, beyond the arcades emulated by MAME, and old gaming PC.

The Intel HM76 chipset and the Core i3-3120M processor should ensure fluidity in HD video, besides having enough processing power for emulators that I want to use. The Gigabit Ethernet network run directly from the NAS videos or PC without gagging. For those who do not like taking Ethernet to the room it has WiFi IEEE 802.11b / g / n built.

Furthermore, the Zotac ZBOX ID83 It has HDMI output, reader, remote control, optical digital audio output, USB slides 2.0 and USB 3.0, ultimately, everything a good HTPC needs. Its compact format and the option to use it vertically (standing) They are ideal characteristics for a PC that will be rack of a living room.

As can be seen, the package arrived in Shipito not give 03/04. Here is the package information, according to FedEx:

The dimensions of the package according to the Shipito are 17 "× 15" × 6 " (42× 37 × 15 cm) and the weight is 6,00 lbs (2,72 kg). Had previously chosen the option to open the package and take 3 Photos (the cost of US $ 1,00) failure to have insurance and to make sure it was the right product. They took even more 3 toast pictures.

Chose the shipping via USPS Priority Mail, that is reasonably fast, medians have chances to come duty free and has a good tracking all the way. The total cost was $ Shipito 68,32. He could have chosen a cheaper freight, but preferred the speed and security of USPS Priority Mail, even more because it is a product with a high price both, although it is much cheaper than in Brazil.

A Shipito is quick in posting. The next day the package was already posted, so I made the payment. The package went to Brazil in 05/04, coming 12/04. Then went to the customs where he was taxed at $ 94,73, but I already had it because of the size of box and weight. Became available for delivery in 19/04, about two weeks after posted, a very good term. Only just winding get because without memory and SSD I would have no way to test it.

Skooter, which the means of sending you think Shipito less susceptible to taxation? You declaring the item and value that will declared by Shipito? I appreciate your blog and your initiative, Follow via reader dirariamente. Thank you.

Nato, The cheapest are the least susceptible to taxation, But they do not crawl and take longer. Example: Airmail Economy e Airmail Priority. Then would come the USPS Economy, a little faster, but still no trace. The options with tracking, that I used (USPS Priority) It is even less susceptible to taxation, because the Express is almost guaranteed that comes tax. The customs declaration is filled by the customer (description and values).

Skooter, I'm also building a HTPC and I think to use it also to run some games. Then I wonder if you have any good recommendations on control and where to buy. I've been researching xbox controls on ebay, but it is hard to know whether they are sending the original or false.

I have an XBox control 360 for PC games, I find it one of the best options. Bought the DX still came when the original (at the time they had not yet false, He had not broken the encryption yet). Today I think it is more advantage to buy in game stores, as eStarland, What is more assured.

As for the media centers based on Android I do not know opinionated, I never used a. For me I would not work account emulators, I think it would have fewer options on Android, in addition to greater difficulty with support for joysticks.
